In Part 1 of Strings in JavaScript, we looked at how to format
text using JavaScript, and along the way uncovered a hidden talent of the
language. In this follow-up/ concluding tutorial, things get a bit grittier
as we venture into the string itself, and learn how to slice and dice 'em .
Let's get the ball rolling..

String handling in
JavaScript

String handling basically means the dissecting and
manipulation of a piece of string (not to be confused with
string formatting). Some people devote their entire careers to this
task, though as JavaScripters, we aren't known to exhibit such loyalty to
the topic (or any other, for that matter!). In this tutorial, we'll look at
the methods of the String object that deal with string handling,
such as looking up a particular substring within a string, splitting it into
many, and more.
